Western University is excited to introduce Western’s new Research Information Management System (RIMS) — a platform designed to streamline how we collect, manage, and showcase the research and scholarly activities of our academic community.
To ensure a smooth and effective transition, we are implementing RIMS in phases, allowing us to gather feedback, improve onboarding, and provide tailored support to each group. Your feedback is essential in shaping implementation and driving adoption across the university.
Groups | Outcomes |
---|---|
Senior leaders (VPR, AVPRs, ADRs, Deputy Provost), Western Libraries (WL) librarians & archivists |
|
Early adopters (WRCs, CRCs, Western Research Institutes) |
|
Full rollout to faculties (phased approach, starting with Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry.) We will share a phased rollout plan with more information as soon as it is finalized. |

By introducing Western RIMS in phases, we can:
Listen and adapt: Each group’s feedback helps us improve the onboarding experience for the next.
Provide better support: Tailored training and documentation evolve with each phase.
Ensure success: A thoughtful, responsive approach leads to a more effective and sustainable system.
We appreciate your collaboration as we implement RIMS together. Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to get involved!
